@Rocky - starrocks 3.5.20 which operator version should I use?
r
For StarRocks 3.5.20, you should use StarRocks Operator v1.11.7 or later. As of late July 2026, the latest available version is v1.11.7 (released July 31, 2026). While there is no rigid 1-to-1 mapping required, the v1.11.x series is specifically maintained to support the StarRocks 3.5.x and 4.0.x branches. Key Version Recommendations: * Recommended Operator Version: v1.11.7 (Latest stable). * Minimum Operator Version: You should use at least v1.11.0. Earlier versions may lack support for newer features introduced in 3.5, such as specific lifecycle management (preStop) and security enhancements. * Helm Chart: If you are using Helm, the corresponding
kube-starrocks
chart version is also 1.11.7. Important Notes for 3.5.x Deployments: * JDK Requirement: Starting with StarRocks v3.5.0, JDK 17 is required. Ensure your Operator configuration or container image for StarRocks components uses the correct Java version. * CRD Updates: If you are upgrading from an older operator (v1.9.x or earlier) to v1.11.x, you must manually update the Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) before upgrading the Helm chart, as Helm does not automatically update existing CRDs. * Release Alignment: StarRocks 3.5.20 was released on July 23, 2026, and Operator v1.11.7 followed shortly after to include relevant bug fixes and enhancements for the 3.5/4.0 releases. For the most up-to-date information, you can check the StarRocks Operator GitHub Releases or the Artifact Hub. References • release_notes/release-3.5.md
